Chapter 45
"Hey Valarie, wake up." I feel someone stir me waking me up but I am seriously in no mood to wake up right now. Or ever. I slap the hand away from my face making the person chuckle. Why does it sound so similar?
"Shut up before I punch you in the guts." My mumble I guess made the person laugh more because I can feel the vibration of one crawling up to my body. Please shut it, someone is trying to sleep here! I groan loudly but the next sentence had me wondering actually which I never do when I am sleeping.
"I guess I am too handsome for that, don't you think sweetbaby?" There is only one person who calls me that, so when I tried opening my eyes, I met with the same pair of eyes that I inherited.
"Dad!" I climb in his arm, making him stumble but still catch me and hold me tight. I am so glad to meet him. I mean yes, he doesn't much stay home and we don't catch up much but this time it's different.
It feels like I was the one away from him because I had to go to that meeting, so I was the reason we didn't spend time together. I stand back on the floor and take my surroundings to see I am back in my house's living room. This made me scrunch my eye-brow up and look at my father who is looking at me amusingly.
Before I could say something, the different voices starting coming up from outside. Somebody opened the door from outside to see all my friends coming in with their luggage. It felt like everybody was talking to everybody making each voice mix up with each other. A voice halted everybody's step and mouth.
"Ah, my babies are back!" My mother shouts from the top of the stairs making everybody's gaze fell on her. She looks like a kid on Christmas day, overly excited and looking at each new face but the smile never faulted from her face. She practically starts running down the stairs looking at Charlott and Ivy who has the biggest smile on their face after looking at her.
Well, my mother doesn't really have two children but four and I guess the numbers are going to increase after tonight.
"Sarah!" Charlott shouts out and engulfs her in a half-hug with Ivy on the other. You can see Charlott's face blooming with a smile and happiness. This is the sight everybody should once see after meeting with Charlott. Charlott meeting my mother and the bitchy Charlott are two different people but this one is my absolute favorite.
On the other hand, Ivy has her eyes closed with a big smile on her face as if she is savoring this moment. My mother looks at both their faces with her eyes glistering with tears.
"Wow Maa I don't know if I should feel bad for not remembering that you even have a daughter or good that I can smell the food till here, Oh God I am hungry." I start walking towards the kitchen ignoring my mother to tease and rub my stomach in hunger.
"Come back here, young lady." My mother's stern playful voice comes with her hands wrapping around my body from the back. I quickly turn back and look at my mother quickly wrapping my hands around her. She comes down to my shoulder making me giggle at her height.
